.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
\fBkpsetool\fP is a Bourne shell script that makes a teTeX-style
\fBkpsetool\fP, \fBkpsexpand\fP, and \fBkpsepath\fP available\&.
\fBkpsetool\fP uses \fBweb2c\fP\'s (new) \fBkpsexpand\fP binary, so the
syntax for \fBkpsexpand\fP is incompatible with teTeX\'s as of version
0\&.4\&.
